    Anyone repair rod guides near Mid-Michigan?

    I have a few rods that need the guides repaired, looking for somewhere that could possibly fix them up without costing an arm and a leg. Located in Saginaw but travel around quite a bit so distance isn't a big deal. Thanks for any help and info!

    Interesting timing, I was just about to ask the same question for recommendations but in the Detroit metro area.

    Have a spinning rod that the bottom guide ceramic insert is cracked and a micro guide casting rod that has a missing ceramic insert as well. I'm not as worried about the micro guide one, that was a cheaper rod, but really want to get that spinning rod repaired, as its my favorite spinning rod by far.

    fixing both will be no problem, shipping is a problem. Are you going to the Novi fishing show, we could meet up or i live about 15-20 min from there.

    I normally put the Sat Novi show group together.. We eat breakfast before we go to the show... Last year we ate here>>> 25875 Novi Rd, Novi, MI 48375 http://noviconey.com/ 1 hr before the doors open at the show... You might want to meet there to swap rods.
